Alternative Holiday Party Outfit Ideas

Tis the season to attend countless events you have almost no interest in! Work parties, spouse’s work parties, family get-together’s with people you won’t see the rest of the year etc. These events are a great chance to dress up a little and enjoy the season where extra sparkle and glitter aren’t “over-doing-it”. 😉

A little red, a little black-Gloomth’s “Ember” dress is the perfect go-to style for the holiday season. In it’s lush red crinkle taffeta it suits the season beautifully, and it has lots of Gothic details to make it really special. For a holiday party we’d pair it with loads of black sparkling jewelry, maybe a show stopping tiered beaded choker and matching black satin gloves! Finish with black patent heels and lace stockings for a decadent, and classy Gothic party outfit.

Silvery December Moonlight– Gloomth’s “Seance” dress is a gorgeous piece for a seasonal soiree. With it’s silvery lace details it works beautifully paired with silver or pewter sparkling jewelry. Layer a black velvet shrug or faux fur stole for a vintage touch and black seamed stockings. Finish with black heels and dark red lipstick.

Holiday Flapper Style– We love blending historical fashions with alternative ones here! Our “Charlotte” dress would be adorable in a flapper inspired style. Load on the black eye makeup and pair it with long dangling necklaces and short gloves. Finish with t-strap pumps for a dance-all-night vibe.

Holiday Doll-Gloomth’s “Carmilla” dress is the ultimate holiday party look. Lush velvet paired with black cotton and heaps of decadent details! We love it for a holiday event paired with lace stockings, platform dolly shoes, and lace gloves. Finish with a veiled party hat and dark makeup for a devastating party ensemble.
